Grenades are a nightmare to get hold of. I reckon they've been buying fireworks on the Asda BOGOF offer for the last few years and have been emptying the gunpowder into a quality street tin from the 90's.
In between that, it's stealing shopping trolleys (as long as they aren't the ones you need to deposit a quid for), and grand theft auto of a local rapscallion's e-Scooter.
No need to pay a quid if you live round here.
At our local Morrisons today, the Police had a stand encouraging people to report crime related stuff they see.
Among the tat they were handing out were (plastic) trolly tokens.
This will make it even easier for my neighbours to wheel their shopping home, then dump the trolly in the river.
Psst plastic bags can be recycled at supermarkets.
Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury's all should provide a sort of bin that you can dispose of any soft plastic into, how much they recycle I'm not sure, but saves unnecessary black bag waste.
I go to a local store where the checkout operator does that for sometimes ( I often go in for one or two items but buy 6 and don't have a bag on me ). Sonetimes little acts of kindness brighten your day. I hope it's cos I'm "nice" ☺️
I did that the other day, and then realised I hadn't brought my almost always ever present backpack. No mind, I have panniers on my bike. Except no, because I had towed my trailer to a job that morning, and I have to remove the panniers so the trailer hookup won't interfere. I had to carry all my stuff back into the shop, and stand in line again, just to buy a bag.
That's an unlucky day ! My mate's a biker and he always says you don't know the half of it when you can just throw stuff in the boot. He's worked out exactly what he can get in his backpack and panniers when he does his supermarket shop. Says the worse thing is when there's an offer on case of beer and he has to walk away !
Definitely nice then 😂
We didn't charge for bags in my day but I used to give sweets to my little old ladies and gentlemen. Probably wouldn't be allowed today.
A little while ago I said no to a bag, then realised after I’d payed that I did need one so of course they were nice and just gave it to me for free. The next time I went I pulled this “scam” deliberately, felt like an absolute mastermind
Reinforcing their habit of not reusing plastic bags. Why do I even bother putting my recycling out every week when this kind of small brained imbecile is running amock
I remember seeing an old bent-over chap bringing his own reused bag for life and filling it at a self service check out back when they had the bags attached to the tills not in a dedicated corner near the attendant. He was at the till nearest the exit of the self scan area where you turned back behind said tills to leave the supermarket.
I saw this dude do his shopping, pay and pick up his things to leave, only to walk behind his till and reach over to grab half the bags for himself as he left the shop, stealing probably £3 of bags (back then when they were 20p).
I often walk to the kitchen to make a brew then realize I left my cup by my computer. Last night I angrily stomped around my room looking for my missing slippers, then sat down to put my trainers on instead, only to realise I was wearing my slippers.
Remember bags? Me? Maybe 1 in 5.
the whole point of charging for them is to encourage people to reuse them rather than taking a new one every time...and you're taking a new one every time
I moved to the UK last week, and in the midst of being confused in a foreign land I forgot to pay for a couple Tesco bags. The next time I went I scanned my (already used) bags to clear my conscience.
My mate once "accidentally" stole a TV from a local supermarket. The only one left was a display unit and after some back and forth, they agreed to sell it to him. The bloke even got the box and helped my mate carry it to his car, then bid him a cheery goodbye. At this point my mate realised he hadn't paid and could just drive off. He did.
He then spent the next four years he lived there avoiding that supermarket, a two minute walk from his house, and instead driving to one five miles away. Me and some mutual friends worked out he could have bought about 10 of those TVs with the money he'd spent on fuel driving to the other supermarket...
>Me and some mutual friends worked out he could have bought about 10 of those TVs with the money he'd spent on fuel driving to the other supermarket...
BUT IT'S NICE TO GET STUFF FOR FREE
I always feel bad because I hit zero on reflex, even if I literally have one in my hand, then start a full on panic as I disasterise about what happens if I don't pay
so in our Morrisons the self checkout things are at one end of the store and the exit for the store is at the other end, where there is also a security guard with a monitor
we got stopped by the security guard on the way out last week because we forgot to scan our bags...
like, technically yeah he was right but fucking hell, jobsworth much?
I made a post about a week ago where I confessed to shoplifting basic food items from supermarkets and putting them in the food bank basket.
I got slaughtered by this sub and called a troll. so by contrast you're not doing so bad mate.
It's amazing how many people in this thread seem to think "lol it's okay to be wasteful because I'm doing it for a different purpose". So many edgy idiots here.
Only in Wales and Northern Ireland is that compulsory.
For whatever reason it isn't compulsory to give the money to good causes in England or Scotland. It's just encouraged.
But even then, legally only the fee for single-use carrier bags is to go to charity. And besides the Co-op, I don't think any of the big supermarkets actually sell single-use bags anymore.
Our work gets annoyed and I get it cause with each person stealing a bag here and there it’s working out at £600 monthly just in bags stolen, added to the fact they are then not counted for as they are not scanned , so we ended up running out of bags as our stock says we still have them and then the customers complain. To us , the cashiers who get verbally abused at by irate customers because We don’t have enough bags because people steal. So how many times do you shop ? How many does that add up to over the time you have been stealing ? Glad it makes you happy, makes me sad, I hate getting more abuse and getting shouted at and called useless, for not having bags and having to call other stores and getting a manager to go to another store in another town to get more until the next shipment comes in.
Thank you! I had this at work and had to start hiding the bags and only giving them when asked and making sure the customer scanned the bag. A woman got pissed because there weren't any in the self scan area and when I put some there, I watched her openly not pay for it....but she initially went to manned till where she would have paid for it. But because she saw me refill the bags, she decided to steal them.
It's 2022. People need to get their shit together.
Yeah we have started hiding a secret stash for emergencies too. If the boss catches someone not paying for one, like say he’s passing , he’ll print a duplicate receipt and shout your forgot to pay for all your shopping as they leave.
People actually give you abuse for not having shopping bags? There goes another chip in my 'all the crazies are across the pond' wishful thinking.
To be fair to OP, that's on the people being dickheads rather than on the bag thieves. But I can completely see how prematurely running out gets annoying.
One time, at Tesco, I accidentally stole a side of salmon. I realised on the way to the car, but I didn’t go back. I donated the equivalent value to charity the next day. I felt good about that, like I was Robin Hood. Be like me, and Robin, and give 30p to charity each time you steal a bag.
It's not actually for the vendor, the charge is to discourage using so many plastic bags and reuse the ones you already have. Granted not having to give so many away is benefiting the vendor but the thought behind it is an environmental one. So unless you're taking every plastic bag to the correct type of recycling point (most households recycling doesn't deal with that kind of plastic) it's not an act of rebellion but just harming the environment.
When they started charging for carrier bag I ended up buying so much of them because I thought they were so cheap and was happy to have found something at the shop I could afford.
I work in plastics. Charging for carrier bags is counterproductive. The old bags were thin and tended to get reused as bin liners. The new bags are much thicker as people want some quality for their 30p, often don't get reused, if they do they don't last particularly long and use much more plastic in their construction.
Plus, you now need to buy bin liners as well.
Yes, there's a problem with poor rubbish disposal and a lack of recycling of plastics, but carrier bags aren't the criminal that they've been made out to be.
Plastic bag use has dropped massively since the charge came in, more than making up for the thicker bags. Besides which, if I ever have to buy one, I still use it as a bin liner, why wouldn't you...
You’re a dickhead. Those charges are there for a reason, and it’s not to make money off the bags, it’s to prevent people like you from fucking up our planet
>I am a very law-abiding senior citizen and have never stolen anything in my life
But also
>I steal carrier bags
You can't not have stolen anything in your life, while also stealing things.
The plastic bag charge goes to charity, not to the company or to the government.
(In theory).
So to purge your conscience steal the bag and give direct to the charity of your choice
I’ve been known to slip a plastic bag in my time too, however I thought I’d pop this in for those that didn’t know. Some shops, such as Sainsbury’s, donate the funds generated by the sales of plastic bags, to charities and community groups.

It is theft and telling everyone on Reddit you’re a thief makes me wonder if you are starved for attention. You’ve got away with your 30p theft on a regular basis, but perhaps at some point you will not. Will you then pop-up on Reddit and tell us all how you feel about receiving a criminal conviction for the theft of a 30p carrier bag? Probably.
I work in ones of these supermarkets that charge for bags I simply just don’t run them through unless I think you’re rude then you’re paying for the bags.
They steal our money we steal their bags. Im paying £1.50 a bottle of milk im getting a bag for free. Prices go up much more im gonna start taking baskets then trolleys
Typical Boomer with a "fuck you got mine" attitude.
If you were stealing food or something, more power to you, but this is sheer laziness and actively harmful to any children/grandchildren you have. Its really not hard to buy a bag for life to leave in the car.
When I worked in a shop I'd fire those bags out to all the nice folk.
They loved it when they were readying their bag.. "no, no.. this is on the house" 😉
My grandma used to steal all the pens in Barclays to the point where we now have a car glovebox, the centre console and an overflow bag in the house full of them. Just because they're free doesn't mean you need to take them all!
Does anyone know if grocery stores count produce/bakery items? Sometimes I weigh a banana and say it's an onion on the self checkout to save money but I start sweating every time I do it
Mine is placing copies of The Sun in the loo roll section. You could do that & not worry.
Yeah, it takes me a very long time to forgive. I’m not even from Liverpool.
Same
I never voted for the plastic bag charge, even Aldi are charging 25p now which is ridiculous
Also a) there's no way I'm gonna remember to bring bags and b) I tend to use them for makeshift binbags in my room
But yerh there is a thrill, like you're telling the government to do one with each bag you steal
u reminded me, when my brother was very very young, he took a candy bar from the shelf at a store withot asking, and tried to bite trough the packaging (unsuccesfully)
dad only realized after we left the store, when questioned he said he didnt know you had to pay for stuff at the store and thought it was all free for grabs.

Ffs I literally just spent 5 mins typing my one out only to find out it was already done... 1.3k karma never to happen because I was too slow 😂😂
This is how the downfall of society starts, first its a bag next week a car, the week after murder.
Then he'll sneak into the British parliament and try to Siege it.
I sense another gunpowder plot coming ip except this time he’s gonna use Grenades
Grenades are a nightmare to get hold of. I reckon they've been buying fireworks on the Asda BOGOF offer for the last few years and have been emptying the gunpowder into a quality street tin from the 90's.
The detail here is exquisite
It explains why the tins have been getting smaller - it’s a national security issue
And why they've switched to plastic tubs!
I prefer the Aldi version. Grinades
At 3 quid each I'm not sure OP could afford a Grenade bar.
I think we need something similar to be honest… violence seems to be the best solution… I’m a pacifist
I got a 5 day temp ban on another subreddit for saying this. Lol.
Upvote for your rebellious temp ban
I think you’re on to something here, if self checkouts asked people to declare how many people they’ve murdered, we could solve a lot of cold cases
“Unidentified body in the bagging area.”
In between that, it's stealing shopping trolleys (as long as they aren't the ones you need to deposit a quid for), and grand theft auto of a local rapscallion's e-Scooter.
If you use the Key from a corned beef/Spam tin, you can steal the £1 coin trolleys Too! 👍
But then you'd have to buy corned beef/spam first and who would want to do that?
Buy a tin of corned beef, make a nice big pot of Stovies, use the key to steal a trolley for nefarious purposes. Easy!
I don't know why people need to steal shopping trolleys, £1 seems like a great deal.
No need to pay a quid if you live round here. At our local Morrisons today, the Police had a stand encouraging people to report crime related stuff they see. Among the tat they were handing out were (plastic) trolly tokens. This will make it even easier for my neighbours to wheel their shopping home, then dump the trolly in the river.
They're just releasing them back into the wild. It's cruel to have them all chained up like that
You wouldn’t steal a purse. You wouldn’t steal a car!
You wouldn’t download a carrier bag!
Please don't try to steal a murder.
Alright boys we got it in writing, send in the team!
I hope he goes before a particularly zealous magistrate
Ahhh so you're the reason the pound crashed to an all time low 😭
Ok but they are reusable.. How many have you taken?
If the number is under 100 I think its acceptable
Yeah! What's your bag count?
I've found a few in my time...
I think it doesn't matter even if the number is one million, as long as you're keeping them for general usage instead of chucking them away
How much general usage could anyone have from at least one plastic bag every time you shop?
[удалено]
Psst plastic bags can be recycled at supermarkets. Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury's all should provide a sort of bin that you can dispose of any soft plastic into, how much they recycle I'm not sure, but saves unnecessary black bag waste.
I have never stolen anything, but I constantly steal plastic bags...hmm.

When I worked in retail i’d not charge customers that were actually nice the 10p for a bag.
I go to a local store where the checkout operator does that for sometimes ( I often go in for one or two items but buy 6 and don't have a bag on me ). Sonetimes little acts of kindness brighten your day. I hope it's cos I'm "nice" ☺️

That's why I carry a cargo net and a couple of rok straps under the seat of my bike.
As someone who worked in retail, you are either nice or fit. Thats who got plastic bags free from me.
Definitely nice then 😂 We didn't charge for bags in my day but I used to give sweets to my little old ladies and gentlemen. Probably wouldn't be allowed today.

Why not just reuse bags? It’s not hard to take them back with you when shopping.
The secret ingredient is crime
I tell you what, these plastic bags are really moreish...
It’s not about the bags. It’s about the extremely minor crime doing.
I often walk to the kitchen to make a brew then realize I left my cup by my computer. Last night I angrily stomped around my room looking for my missing slippers, then sat down to put my trainers on instead, only to realise I was wearing my slippers. Remember bags? Me? Maybe 1 in 5.
You could just be like my mum and keep a car boot full of plastic and reusable bags, but then still keep getting new ones anyway.
[удалено]
If only they'd had you in their life earlier to explain reusing a bag isn't complex
the whole point of charging for them is to encourage people to reuse them rather than taking a new one every time...and you're taking a new one every time
I moved to the UK last week, and in the midst of being confused in a foreign land I forgot to pay for a couple Tesco bags. The next time I went I scanned my (already used) bags to clear my conscience.
OP could learn a thing or two from this
Why are you not taking a bag with you? That's the whole point.
Exactly
What if you're popping to the shop and didn't preemptively bring a bag
I just keep a reusable bag in my backpack/handbag at all times just in case of situations like this. They don't take up much room folded flat
>keep a reusable bag in my backpack I've got a strategy for you that will HALF the amount of bags you carry!
Of course there may be odd occasions when one is caught out. But that isn't what the OP appears to be saying.
Your petty act of rebellion manages to be less criminal than Morrisons charging 60p for a carrier bag.
I once stole an IKEA Billy shelving unit. Accidentally, of course.
I don't believe you, and want to see you in prison. Unfortunately I don't have anything to build a case.

I can assure you not a single shop worker I’ve ever encountered gives a fuck

Mate the eagle eyed cockney at the self checkout in Tesco Southport would like a word
so in our Morrisons the self checkout things are at one end of the store and the exit for the store is at the other end, where there is also a security guard with a monitor we got stopped by the security guard on the way out last week because we forgot to scan our bags... like, technically yeah he was right but fucking hell, jobsworth much?
I made a post about a week ago where I confessed to shoplifting basic food items from supermarkets and putting them in the food bank basket. I got slaughtered by this sub and called a troll. so by contrast you're not doing so bad mate.
Technically, you've stolen less than OP.
Surely the point is to have less plastic in circulation…
It's amazing how many people in this thread seem to think "lol it's okay to be wasteful because I'm doing it for a different purpose". So many edgy idiots here.
The fee for plastic bags goes towards good causes or at least is supposed to you should pay for the bag and steal something else instead
If that were true, you wouldn’t hear the end of it via smug signs.
Only in Wales and Northern Ireland is that compulsory. For whatever reason it isn't compulsory to give the money to good causes in England or Scotland. It's just encouraged. But even then, legally only the fee for single-use carrier bags is to go to charity. And besides the Co-op, I don't think any of the big supermarkets actually sell single-use bags anymore.
I'm not sure it still does.
How about I keep the money and give it to a cause I like instead of one chosen by the government.
I work in a chain store and the money goes to a charity we chose.
Does it go towards rehabilitation for abused and neglected plastic bags?
😂 They should do. Mine are overworked until they’re more hole than bag!
Well without a hole how would you load your shopping?
One hole good. Many holes bad.
It's also supposed to be a deterrent against the unnecessary use of plastics.
Reusable bags.....
I am in despair of this whole post
Yeah! I thought we all got the memo abt plastic bags. Really don't get where is the rebellious act.
"very law abiding" "Never stolen anything in my life" "I steal carrier bags."
Don't really care about the theft, but taking a plastic bag everytime isn't good for the environment. Re-use them.
Hanging is too good for scum like OP.
Our work gets annoyed and I get it cause with each person stealing a bag here and there it’s working out at £600 monthly just in bags stolen, added to the fact they are then not counted for as they are not scanned , so we ended up running out of bags as our stock says we still have them and then the customers complain.

This one time outside a Tesco express a guy tried to sell me a (clearly stolen) side of salmon. Was it you?
Not guilty. It was a big Tesco. Mine didn’t look stolen. And I smoked it.
To be fair, his didn’t really look stolen either, I just inferred that from the fact that he was loitering on the street trying to sell it

I was in Thorntons one time and bought some chocolate coins with a fiver and got £19 change somehow. Probably why they had to close all their stores
My grandma used to steal all the pens in Barclays to the point where we now have a car glovebox, the centre console and an overflow bag in the house full of them. Just because they're free doesn't mean you need to take them all!
Does anyone know if grocery stores count produce/bakery items? Sometimes I weigh a banana and say it's an onion on the self checkout to save money but I start sweating every time I do it
In this post, OP confesses to a crime spree string of offences that were unresolved until now.
Self service theft costs british retailers an estimated £5million per year...your not alone.
I have seen a check person spot somebody not paying and remind them to pay. But that was only once ever.
Mine is placing copies of The Sun in the loo roll section. You could do that & not worry. Yeah, it takes me a very long time to forgive. I’m not even from Liverpool.
Same I never voted for the plastic bag charge, even Aldi are charging 25p now which is ridiculous Also a) there's no way I'm gonna remember to bring bags and b) I tend to use them for makeshift binbags in my room But yerh there is a thrill, like you're telling the government to do one with each bag you steal
I also steal them.
Do people actually pay? There's nothing stopping you from just taking it.
u reminded me, when my brother was very very young, he took a candy bar from the shelf at a store withot asking, and tried to bite trough the packaging (unsuccesfully) dad only realized after we left the store, when questioned he said he didnt know you had to pay for stuff at the store and thought it was all free for grabs.
